Description
Chlorobutanol Supplier & Exporter in India
Chlorobutanol has held its place in pharmaceutical formulation for more than a century because it does two things at once – it preserves, and it mildly numbs. That combination makes it particularly well suited to ophthalmic and injectable preparations, where a preservative that also reduces stinging on application is a real advantage.
Rexus Pharma Chem LLP supplies and exports Chlorobutanol in bulk to pharmaceutical formulators producing ophthalmic, parenteral and topical preparations, along with veterinary and cosmetic manufacturers, across India, Africa and the Gulf. Minimum order quantity is 500 kg.

The minimum order quantity for Chlorobutanol is 500 kg.

Storage and Handling
Store in tightly sealed packing in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Chlorobutanol is volatile and sublimes slowly at room temperature, and it hydrolyses in alkaline conditions, so keep containers closed and formulate on the acidic side of neutral for best stability.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what concentration is Chlorobutanol used?
Pharmaceutical preparations typically use around 0.5 percent. Confirm your dosage form when enquiring and we will advise on the grade.
What is the difference between anhydrous and hemihydrate grades?
The hemihydrate carries water of crystallisation; the anhydrous form does not and is chosen where formulation moisture must be minimised. Both are available.
Why does Chlorobutanol lose potency in some formulations?
It hydrolyses under alkaline conditions and is volatile, so alkaline products and containers left open both lose preservative strength over time. Acidic to neutral pH and sealed packing keep it stable.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity is 500 kg.
Do you supply COA and MSDS?
Yes, with every consignment.
